Implementing risk assessments Working on board a ship often exposes seafarers to a variety of work-related accidents and incidents. In most cases,these may have been easily avoided had a proper risk assessment been undertaken. The Shipowners P&I Club has identified some routine shipboard tasks which have given rise to avoidable claims and, on the basis of these, will be publishing monthly sample risk assessments to advise Members on how to mitigate such claims. While the Club acknowledges that many Members already have a formal risk assessment process in place these examples, which are provided for guidance purposes only, will be of benefit to those who may not have the shore side management infrastructure in place and therefore may not have access to such procedures. The Club emphasizes that this guidance is not to undermine or replace the company’s safety management policies or any applicable statutory regulations.

The Shipowners P&I Club in partnership with ISWAN has isued guidance which dispels some of the common misconceptions about sexually transmitted infections and provides seafarers’ with advice.
The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) Maritime Affiliates recently carried out an extensive survey concerning the sexual health and wellbeing of 608 seafarers across 30 different countries.

A seaman had already attached the heaving line to the eye of the second spring and begun to pay out the line through a fairlead on the starboard side. To this end, he had to stand right next to the deployed spring. This line parted suddenly and struck the seaman such that he collapsed immediately. The crew members present pulled him out of the danger area of the lines, advised the bridge, and then attempted to resuscitate him.
